I received a safety recall nhtsa recall 16v-346 on saturday 7-23-2016, passenger frontal air bag, metal fragment could pass airbag cushion. today 7/25/2016 the honda dealer and honda automobile customer service does not and will not offer a rental car for this recall, they state no one should sit in the passenger seat. customer service stated it will late summer early fall before the parts will be in. if an accident would occur and the bag deployed the driver (me) would not be in a safe environment. honda does not seemed to be concerned about the customers safety or convenience.

I received a recall notice in july. i contacted honda to have the recall performed. they told me they would contact me when the parts arrived. it is now almost october and i have received no response to date. the recall notice states that the defect should be remedied within 60 days from the date that the dealer was contacted for a repair appointment. it has been well past 60 days with no response. i contacted them again and left a voicemail today, september 28, 2016.

I received a letter from honda notifying me of a recall on my passenger air bag in july. it is now november and the parts are still not available. this is unacceptable for me to be driving an unsafe car for this long. i have a road trip planned in a couple of weeks and need my car to be safe for it.

Takata recall - i searched my vin number to determine any potential recalls on my vehicle to find that mine is included on the airbag recall. i called my local dealership, and they informed me that they would order the part and it would take roughly a week to ship in; it would take about 45 minutes to fix once the part was in. i was utterly shocked that she wasn't surprised or even wanting to verify any information on my vehicle. i never received any notice as to the issue on my vehicle, and only found out from being proactive. this recall has been out since may of 2016, and its july and i still have yet to receive any information from honda? this seems like gross negligence should something have happened if i was in an accident; i wouldn't have known that my passenger and possibly myself could be killed due to metal fragments being released when the airbag ruptures. is it not required that this information be made aware to the owners of the vehicles by the manufacturers? why did i have to go out of my way to find out that there is a problem that is of their doing? where are the repercussions against the company for failing to be proactive? i have other issues with my vehicle that i will file under other reports. honda isn't getting off clean anymore, not when they're quality has dropped and negatively impacted the safety of others.

Takata recall. honda recall # ka5. received notice of recall july 2016. have not received any indication that remedy for recall is available. according to the website safercar.gov, the recall was made known in may 2016. i would like to know how to resolve this safety issue. this seems to be too much time to wait to have such a serious problem resolved.

Takata recall. i found out about the recall in july and called the local dealer and honda, and was told the part was not yet available and i would be notified when it was. on 9/20, i checked with the dealer and was told that the part is available but they have to order the vin-specific part, which takes up to 4 weeks. i then called honda to see why i wasn't noticed that the part was available, and the rep said honda changed its mind about sending the parts availability notice and apologized for the "miscommunication." the original recall notice advises me not to have a front-seat passenger, which is not always possible. the honda rep was very polite but firm, essentially telling me too bad; i just need to wait and try not to use the passenger seat in the meantime. the dealer was also cavalier about the matter, suggesting i check back in case they don't contact me. assuming the part is available in 4 weeks and the dealer fixes it quickly, that will still be 3 months of driving a car with a defect that has been lethal for people (should say since i knew i was driving a car with a potentially lethal defect). doesn't honda have any responsibility here?

I received a letter in july stating the recall for the air bags propellant wafers being defected. i have called american honda for the past week everyday trying to talk with a case manager about my specific needs of alternative transportation. i currently work for neuro community care who is contracted by wounded warriors. we currently serve over 500 warriors who have brain injuries across the us. my daily job is to transports warriors with brain injuries to medical appointments, stores, and community outings. to many it is their only source of getting out of the house. for many suffer from ptsd. this job is my only source of income and not having a safe vehicle to use for my work is unacceptable. i have been told every time i call that a case manager has to call me back, but after a week i have heard nothing. my clients and my employment are suffering. i need your help in helping me getting hold of a case manager from american honda who can authorize the rental of a safe vehicle while i wait for my honda to get fixed. i have contacted my local honda dealer (leith honda in raleigh) and their response was they thinks the parts will be in within 2-3 weeks, but it is just a estimate. please, please, please help me! i am afraid of the injuries for my clients as well as my family. my email is ([xxx] and my phone number is [xxx] sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Takata recall - heard the airbag might be on recall about a month ago. daughter drives this car to college. looked up civic online and it met the recall for takata airbag. took to dealership but they said they have no part for replacement until fall. this is unacceptable. our 4 seat car is now a 'limo' as no one can sit in the front passenger seat. also my daughter must return to college without the repair completed as the parts are not expected until after she must return. her college is over 6 hours away. this is beyond inconvenient. and very unsafe. you need to supply the repair much sooner.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. the contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 (air bags) was received in july of 2016. after contacting the dealer and the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be provided. the contact had not experienced a failure. the vin tool confirms parts not available.

I received a recall notice from honda dated july 2016 about propellant wafers degrading and says that "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed". as of today, january 19th, 2017 they do not have the remedy ready yet according to your website. so my family has had to avoid using our civic as i don't want to have my head caved in by a defective airbag. the letter states the parts needed would be available in late summer/fall of 2016. *tr

Tamara recall - getting the run a round on getting the replacement of the airbags. first, was never notified, now they are telling us that only the passenger airbag is affect and that seems very strange that it would have different materials than the driver airbag. very unhappy at the way honda is handling this. telling us that it takes 60 to 90 days to get the parts that seems extreme. the whole situation seems like a cover up with the public be put in danger.

Takata recall. i received notice of the recall july 2016. the recall call has not been remedied.

It sure if it is a takayuki inflators recall - but the notice from honda indicated that the repair would be available later summer or fall. it is now late december and i have lost the use of my front passenger seat with no update as to when this will be rectified. i have owned 6 hondas and this may be the last. it is pathetic that we cannot even get an update. i want a car where all the seats are usable!!!

Addendum: reference odi number: 10748966. as of 6/19/2016 my honda civic has a recall for the passenger side airbag (vin verified). i am not suppose to let anyone sit in the passenger seat until a honda dealer fixes it. so now i have no airbag and no seat belt on the driver's side (because it deployed without any reason)...i also have a loaded time bomb on the passenger side that honda wants to fix...but still no recall on the driver's airbag because honda doesn't think it needs to be recalled. why isn't the nhtsa making honda recall 2008 honda civics for the driver side airbag? does someone have to die first? my god, the driver side airbag is ticking time bomb! vr

Honda sent me a safety recall notice on july 2016, of defective airbags that could injure occupant of the front passenger's seat. no further notice received on my end and since then i wasn't able to use the front passenger's seat.

Takata recall: the dealership is not calling me to replace the passenger side airbag and/or piece that needs replacing. this is our family vehicle and we need the vehicle to travel from tucson, az to lodi, ca for the christmas holiday, 2016. it is dangerous to have a passenger in the front seat. it was supposed to be remedied by fall, 2016. i am ready to sue honda!! i need an immediate fix for the vehicle or a replacement vehicle to use until my vehicle is fixed. honda is not offering to give me a replacement vehicle!!!! i cannot put a passenger in my vehicle for fear of causing their death if there should be a vehicle accident. what am i supposed to do now? i have contacted honda, gone repeatedly to safercar.gov, and i am getting no response! help please!

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. the contact stated that the air bag warning light randomly illuminated. the dealer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

Passenger side air bag light lights intermittently whether car is stationary or moving. this has been happening over the last 6 months. *tr

Takata recall. this recall has been in effect for almost a year and they still do not have the parts to fix my car. this recall could kill myself and my child and any other passengers in my car if we were to be in a crash! this is unacceptable!

Takata recall - months delay in getting part to replace, still have not been able schedule a repair.

I received a recall notice in may, 2016 and called dealer in june and was told part would not be available for 2 months. i called again 8/16/16 and was told the part would not be available until october or november. i live in texas and school is starting and i pickup my grandchildren from school several times a week. i am very concerned for their safety in my car. i am angry and disgusted by my dealer's nonchalant attitude regarding the recall replacement. i would like to sell this car, but i could not in good concious, while this condition remains. it is disturbing that honda is this unprepared in addressing this problem, one that has been going on for years.

The recall notice for this passenger side airbag problem recommends not having anyone sit in the passenger seat. it has been 9 months since this recall was announced and my local honda dealer informs me that honda still has no solution to the problem. literally this defect can kill a person in the event of a low speed accident that triggers the airbag. this is a life and death matter and honda has not fixed it in 9 months! in addition to making my car less safe, this defect presumably lowers the resale value of my vehicle.

Takata recall, i have not been able to use the car for six months and no one will replace the air bag. this has caused a severe financial problem .

I purchased a 2008 honda civic in april of 2016, after i was in an accident where both of my front air bags deployed. shortly after purchasing the 2008 honda civic i discovered there was a front passenger airbag recall. i immediately called my local honda dealership. they took down my information and said that they would call me when the airbag can be fixed. the recall letter states 'in the event of a passenger frontal airbag inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, potentially resulting in injury to vehicle occupants. the risk of such occurrence increases over time.' it has now been a year since i reported the recall and have yet to be contacted to have it fixed. due to my recent accident where both airbags deployed, i fear that i am in danger and this is the car that i have to drive daily. i have tried contacting honda about my concerns and they have not responded. i just want them to buy my unsafe car back from me so that i can buy a safe vehicle to drive.

Takata recall we received a recall notice that stated we should not operate the vehicle until it is repaired so now a eight months later are still waiting and have to use the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. while driving 35 mph, the driver side air bag inadvertently deployed. as a result, the contact became unconscious and crashed into a pole. the contact sustained a whiplash that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 135,000.

Ran over a shallow pot hole on a city street. the car was going 10-15 miles per hour (5 feet after a complete stop at a stop sign). the car was traveling straight across a one way stop. the driver's side air bag exploded (did not deploy) and seat belt stopped retracting. damage was also noted to the base of windshield on the driver's side.

Takata recall i have been waiting for months on this recall after notifying rusty wallace honda in the dallas area and have had no further contact.
